JUST A FEW MORE HOURS UNTIL THE FRANKLIN FALL FESTIVAL! 👻🎃

This little Sewciopath has been busy tonight getting a few last-minute crafty things finished!

And can we just talk about this witch hat?! 🖤 It turned out SEW CUTE! It’s made from an old wedding ring quilt, and I STILL have enough of that quilt left to make a coat! So apparently this quilt isn’t done haunting my sewing room yet. 😂

I also finished up these adorable little Halloween car coasters! I wish I could find my other package of blanks so I could make a few more… but apparently they’ve decided to play hide-and-seek. And if you’ve ever seen my craft room or my sewing room, you’ll understand.. Oh well! I’ll have more for the next market.

🎃 TOMORROW I’LL BE SET UP DOWNTOWN FRANKLIN! 🎃

Come wander through the Fall Festival and check out all the crafty goodness! There will be:

🎶 Music
🍔 Food trucks
🛍️ LOTS of vendors
🎉 A parade
🐶 A DACHSHUND RACE!!!
🎃 And all kinds of fall fun!

So grab your favorite people, put on your best fall/Halloween vibes, and stop by and say BOO! 👻

I’ll be there with my handmade goodies, distressed flannels, crafty creations, and probably way too many bad sewing puns. 😜🧵

See you in downtown Franklin! 🍂🎃👻

POP! POP! HOORAY! 🍿

I’m working on a new item for my handmade lineup, and I’m pretty excited about this one!

Introducing… Reusable Microwave Popcorn Bags!

Just in time for holiday movie season! Whether you’re settling in for your favorite jump-scare flick 👻, a cheesy Christmas classic 🎄, or one of those heartfelt holiday movies that magically makes everyone cry by the end… you’re going to need snacks.

These reusable popcorn bags let you make fresh popcorn right in the microwave—no additives, no mystery ingredients, no extras. Just good ol’ popcorn!

✨ Add ½ cup of popcorn kernels
✨ Pop it in the microwave for a couple of minutes
✨ Listen for those POP POP POPs!
✨ Pour yourself a bowl and enjoy!

And when the movie is over, simply toss the bag in the washing machine, and it’s ready to go again… and again… and again!

Because movie night is better with popcorn—and popcorn is even better when you can make it sew many times!

I’ll be adding these to my handmade market lineup soon. Stay tuned!

My next event is this Saturday, I’ll be set up at the Franklin Fall Festival. With over 200 vendors, you won’t want to miss this one!
